The
classic form of Pocky was first sold in 1965, under the
name "Chocoteck", and consists of a biscuit stick
coated with chocolate. Pocky was an instant hit among Japanese
teenagers, and brought in sales of 30 billion yen in its
first two years. The name was changed to "Pocky",
after the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound Pocky makes
when bitten, pokkin. The original was followed by "Almond
Pocky" in 1971, with an almond coating, and "Strawberry
Pocky" in 1977. Today, the product line includes such
variations as milk, mousse, green tea and coconut flavored
coatings, and themed products such as "Decorer Pocky",
with colorful decorative stripes in the coating, and "Men's
Pocky", a dark (bittersweet) chocolate and "mature"
version.
